The Cosby Show star hit headlines last month after more than a dozen women went public with allegations suggesting the veteran funnyman had taken advantage of them years ago.

The actor’s attorney has repeatedly blasted the accusations, which have led to a number of concert cancellations on Cosby’s current stand-up comedy tour, but he has found one staunch supporter in Scott, who refuses to believe the claims of sexual assault until the alleged victims, including former model Janice Dickinson and actresses Louisa Moritz and Michelle Hurd, provide “substantiated proof” of their accounts.

The hitmaker commented on the allegations last week after one Twitter follower encouraged her to sign an online petition calling on bosses at Cosby’s alma mater, Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to drop him from their Board of Trustees. Cosby and his wife Camille also have a scholarship named in their honour at Temple, where Scott was awarded an honorary degree from the comedian earlier this year.

Replying to the fan, she wrote, “So they’ve proven the alleged allegations? I didn’t know. Will they also be giving him back the millions he’s donated?”

Her comments sparked a firestorm online and she was subsequently bombarded with negative responses, prompting Scott to fire back, “U know Bill Cosby? I do child and this is insane. Proof. Period.”

@SimplyBerry u know Bill Cosby? I do child and this is insane. Proof. Period.

Responding to another user, she wrote, “sides with Mr. Cosby? No. I side with substantiated proof when media/society is attempting to destroy a magnificent Legacy”, adding, “I’m respecting a man who has done more for the image of Brown people that almost anyone EVER. From Fat Albert (cartoon character he created) to the Huxtables (fictional family on The Cosby Show).”

Ms Scott has become an enabler as alleged sexual predators like Bill Cosby and accused pedophiles like Sylvain Kustyan, Jerry Sandusky, etc. must be apprehended before they have decades to prey upon our women and children. Sandusky is behind bars. But unfortunately, Sylvain Kustyan, who has been formally charged with two counts each of 1st Degree Sodomy of a ten-year-old little boy, fled to avoid imminent arrest. Kustyan, formerly of Tuscaloosa, Alabama and Hermin/ Mazingarbe, France, is now a fugitive from the law and thought to have returned to his native France, a country which has a no-extradition policy. Victims of Child Sexual Abuse often suffer lifelong physical problems as well as the psychological and emotional trauma from their horrifying experiences. Male victims have 3x’s the heart attack risk and 10x’s the suicide rate. Since the average pedophile has 300 different victims in their lifetime and since the recidivism rate among pedophiles is virtually 100% they must be stopped ASAP!
